It will be another day of mostly cloudy skies, however. Temperatures will rise into the upper-70s to near 80º. Dew points will rise into the mid-60s, which is just fine for me. Not too humid, but still feeling good.

Overnight lows will fall back into the mid-60s, to the point you may not even need the jacket for Thursday morning.

A Warmer Thursday
